Written honestly and compellingly, this is a must-read for all teenage girls - wait, this is a must-read for everyone, especially teenage guys! I am so grateful for this important resource and plan to recommend it to all my young adult readers." - Melody Carlson, author of Diary of a Teenage Girl series and the TrueColor series "Dannah Gresh hits another home run! What Are You Waiting For? is refreshingly real and relevant - definitely a timely message for today's generation of young women!" - Shannon Ethridge, international speaker and best-selling author of Every Young Woman's Battle "If you are looking for the gospel truth on the very real issue of sex and sexuality that all singles face, this is the book for you. Dannah Gresh talks to singles where they really live. Not only is it refreshing, it is liberating - as truth always is. Dannah does not dance around the issues but addresses them with in-your-face clarity that is sorely needed. Sharing the spiritual implications while balancing the reality of the natural world we live in, Dannah practically addresses how singles can be victorious in the battle between the flesh and the spirit." - Michelle McKinney Hammond, author of What Women Don't Know and Men Don't Tell You "All I can say is wow! My assistant's teenage daughter agreed to flip through this book for me as a favor and ended up absorbed in the entire thing! As she rightly put it, What Are You Waiting For? brings 'amazing insight into what no one tells you about sex - and it really can strengthen the relationship you have with God and your future spouse.' This book is a fantastic read. Dannah Gresh has such a special way of taking an important subject and making it appealing, practical, and accessible to everyone." - Shaunti Feldhahn, best-selling author of For Women Only and For Young Women Only "What Are You Waiting For? is a well-written study of the sexual culture our teens are immersed in today and offers a culturally relevant perspective that aligns itself with the Word of God. Dannah has managed to walk the fine line of approaching this difficult subject in a way that will inspire teens to live holy lives and inspire parents to broach this delicate topic with their kids. This book is not for the faint of heart; however, neither is raising teenagers in our current society." - Ron Luce, founder and president of Teen Mania Ministries.
